The Manly Way

I bet Brooks is stoked he got out of that one!

Who is the lad with the Tolu tail haircut?

Think that's Tommy Talau

Looks like Nathan Brown was the only older squad member involved. Good to see him pushing through and not standing on his laurels. His name was on the honour rolls for trainer of the week and Manly mentality of the week in a photo posted here not long ago. I'd wager it was for his performance in the week this was filmed.

Hmm yea… makes me wonder if he’s injured.

Aitasi James looks like an absolute specimen.

Nah, it's not Tommy.

It's this lad up in the corner.

It's not Hoppa's boy that's signed as a development player next year is it?

Uploaded it a few weeks back. (The photo wasn’t the best so much better watching it on tv)
But week one was Kobe

 

[Eagles4Life]

The Manly Way has to be the club's best fan initiative ever. Long may it continue.
Interesting to note that the best trainers of the week include a number of players who are either new to the club and/or have a real point to prove in 2024.
Week One - Kobe Rugless
Week Two - Ben Trbojevic
Week Three - Luke Brooks
Week Four - Nathan Brown
Week Five - Jacob Arthur

Yeah, weird that he didn’t seem to be involved in it. Maybe Ennis is working with he Froggy, Schuster, DCE and Turbo to get combinations going. Maybe a niggling injury. Who knows, however, it’s odd he wasn’t, or didn’t appear to be there.

There is obviously a clear reason as to why Brooks was not involved, however, what it is, who knows!

The other guys in the team did this for a week last year, so I guess Seibs decided they did not need to do it again. From a ‘team’ perspective, I am not quite sure how it works, other than it’s very military based with the ‘newbies’ being the cadets. Let’s hope it works!

Arthur looks huge now and Brown clearly has a point to prove. Barring injuries, we could be in for a very interesting season in 2024. One can only hope.

Interesting selection panel for the 16 on the camp:

• No Brooks
• Jake Arthur played last year
• Cory Waddell already has played for Manly
• Seems some others from 2023 were in there

Seibs is really going in hard with the mad men Lodge and Brown. I hope it comes off for us. Seems like a crash or crash through strategy.

I keep comparing in my mind Jake Arthur with Cooper Johns, I think we kept the right one!

 

[Will on the hill]

Don't think so, Lehi is skinnier. I'm stumped.

Once again loved it. Really well done to all involved for creating this series for the fans. Much appreciated.

Like a few others I was surprised no Brooks? I'd liked seeing his enthusiasm in the first few episodes. Must have been a good reason for him missing the camp.

I am generally a grumpy old cynical bastard but this series has even got me pumped up and feeling confident for the season ahead. Hurry up footy season. I really want to see what this team can do.

I don't want it to stop. I wish this "The Manly Way" series could continue throughout the footy season as well and we can be flies on the wall and share the highs and lows.

 

[The '47ers]

Loved it.

I keep comparing in my mind Jake Arthur with Cooper Johns, I think we kept the right one!

Without question, yes.

I wish we had signed Arthur a little sooner, if he had played in some of those early games instead of Johns, I think we would have made the 8.

 

[Stewbojevic]

Without question, yes.

I wish we had signed Arthur a little sooner, if he had played in some of those early games instead of Johns, I think we would have made the 8.

Given his work ethic it’s going to be hard to leave him out of the team all year. He doesn’t really fit into our top 17 but I’m interested to see how Seibs works it.

 

[Sheikheagle]

I might be wrong but I thought I saw Brooksy when they were doing the sentry duty up at North Head.

 

[The '47ers]

I saw Luke tanned up at the servo, maybe the cameraman just didn't pan out enough on the show.

 

[Kalvin]

It would be awesome if the club could confirm which 16 players went on the camp!

 

[The Wheel]

It was mostly the younger players and a few of the newer ones like Brown, Matterson, Waddell, Arthur

Brooks has been around a long time, guess that’s why he wasn’t required to attend


Some of the younger players included that I spotted were;

Lehi Hopoate.
James Uesele
Bailey Hodgson
Tommy Talau
Jaxson Paulo
Charlie Thompson
Aitasi James
Kobe Rugless
Tylor Bunting
Clayton Faulalo

Wow, I'm worn out just watching it, well done all involved, I loved it.

Does Kobe have a sibling called Osaka?
